FlexibleLove™ furniture incorporates an ‘accordion-like, honeycomb’ structure to create durable furniture pieces produced from widely-available recycled materials. FlexibleLove furniture, such as FlexibleLove Earth 16, are made from recycled paper and recycled wood waste, and are produced using pre-existing manufacturing processes in order to reduce their overall impact on the environment.

The name “Flexible Love” was derived from the concept of a ‘flexible love-seat’ – seating that could hold from one to as many as sixteen individuals; changing length and shape with a simple pull at each end. A honeycomb structure, used throughout the entire Flexible Love line, produces an accordion-like result that allows each piece to be extended and collapsed with ease.

The 2010 line includes FlexibleLove Virgin 20, FlexibleLove Earth 16, and FlexibleLove Earth 8. FlexibleLove White 16 coming soon! FlexibleLove was designed by Taiwanese designer Chishen Chiu, and is manufactured by Pinzaan Company Limited. (coutequecoute)

Random Mid Century Chair 2 Random Mid Century Chair 1

I saw this little lounge chair at a store last week and I must say that I think it is not entirely without charm. Sadly it did not have any labels on the bottom so I don’t know what make it is.

I’ll be honest, the only reason this house made it on here is because I like the versatility of the brown PK 22 chair that is used at the desk. Poul Kjœrholm’s chairs are at the pinnacle of modern chair design, but often don’t receive enough recognition, so here’s a little from Adequately Fresh.

This mid-terrace house in Ireland has been extensively refurbished into a contemporary live/work space. The new structure was conceived as a simple form which connects at ground level with the existing house. The tight site and strict planning constraints defined the form of the new extension from an early stage.

This is "the chair"

If you do not know, this is probably the chair of all chairs because this is extremely legendary stuff considering the year it was released in 1956. Iconic modern style design which has been in production continuously since its creation and on top of its high design, its also very comfortable (well I did sit on it), something which is not always found in high design chairs. I think its super chic (damn shouldn’t keep using that word) with the black leather and rosewood combination especially if it was from 1956. Timeless. Modern. Iconic. Eames. Powerful. Conspicuous consumption could be a side effect but nevertheless, click here if you want one. Check out the historic release of this chair on the Arlene Francis Home Show broadcast on the NBC television network in the USA in 1956.
